They never let me out to see mates, iv'e asked to them to speak with my friends parents but they wont do that, they're doing everything they can to keep me away from the world. Just because they dont like talking to people they're trying to make me like it too. They base everything i feel on hormones, for example, if my step-mum asks what's wrong and i tell her a good reason why, she'll say something like " yeah but that's just stupid teenage stuff, that's no reason to be down " or if i just say im feeling down for no reason she'll base it on hormones, so that's why i dont tell her whats wrong cause she'll just call it " stupid teenage stuff " and i said to her the other day " well when im 18 i can move out then cant i " she said " maybe we'll see " AHHHH! I mean what the hell does she think she's on about, she thinks she can control me at 18! im going crazy, i start college in 2 months but this is driving me insane now, she just will not listen, neither will my dad, i hate them both.

You want to be treated like an adult, yet you are still acting like a child. I actually think you were holding your breath and stomping your feet as you wrote this post.
When you are 18, if you are financially able to take care of yourself, then move out. But if you still rely on Daddy & Step-Mommy to pay for your education, put a roof over your head, feed you, etc.... Then stop your whining and live by their rules.

I'm sure you know, its a crazy world out there?watch the news, its scary, especially if you have children.you know parents don't know everything?they are-learning while you grow up,their only doing what they think is best for you, and i know it may seem mean and cruel now, but i believe one day you will thank them for being so strict?one day when you are a parent, you will understand, how scary it is out there?and you want to keep your children safe and alive.as you said soon you'll be old enough to be on your own, or in college,just don't go and do anything stupid with your new found freedom, cause it will be your life then and your responsibility, good luck to you my dear, as for the hormone thing, they say it pro bally cause it's true, especially in girls, we're very moody creators as teenagers, but its not stupid teenager stuff, its real and important, its not right to hate your parents, they are just trying to do the best they can, with what they know, give them a break and-try to talk and be honest and open with them, families need to-support and love each-other, god bless you and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes parents just can't let go and they don't want their kids to grow up. it's very stressfull. And once your 18 you are legal and can do what you want. your parents CAN NOT tell you what to do. They are not the boss of you and that's the law. Because you are 18 means you are responsible for yourself. I think when you go to college and move out you will feel much better! And find you a man! Good luck!

If it's only two more months until you start college, try to hang in there.
Your life changes gradually when you are in college. You're more likely to find a job in the summer, for example, and that is really what you need. You probably want a car at some point and that gives you mobility - but likely, you'll have to pay for it yourself.
Tip: your parents will be more in tune with what you say if you talk to them like they talk to each other - in a kind of 'adult speak' so try that.

It looks they are very possessive. Some people are like that by nature.
But, tell them that you are ready to obey them if they give convincing answer to your "WHY"..
Why shouldnt you be sent to a play-park, or a film with frinds for a few hours? If they think some body will kidnap you, let them make arrangements to sit in the car and watch you,/wait for you, till you have some fun with children of your age and come back.
May be for three hours , twice a week.
Other days you will have other work to do like laundry etc.
At home try to cook something nice, once a week.
read novels etc.

Look stop trying to reason with your ignorant step mother and make the best of a bad situation until you go to college or turn 18.

Then move out when you are 18 and never move back. Take care of yourself and nobody can control you.
I graduated from high school at 17 and moved out the following week and never moved back. I am glad I got out young and started off early.

we have all been there , don't worry once you go to college things will get better, it sound like they are just afraid to let you grow up , maybe they think that once you grow up & go out on your own you will not want to be around them anymore
just ask them if your friends can come over to your place since they won't let you go to your friends OR if possible ask if you can stay w/ another relative until the 2 months is up
good luck & just remeber they are trying to do what they think is best for you

OMG. Wow. I can relate to you so much brother!!! I'm 17 and I hate my parents! My mom is too over-protective. She worries about me way too much. Her parental care is my nightmare. She always talks negatively about things. I can never do what I want to do like hang out with my friends. I'm prisoned in my own room because of her. As for my dad, he's so stupid and dumb. All he does is let my mom boss me around. He just reads his newspaper all day and watch TV. He never even cares for me. Sometimes I wish I can live alone. Sometimes I wish they will disappear forever. I just absolutely can't stand them sometimes. I hate them both too.

While its not stupid, it is teenage angst and we all go through it. Your mom and dad aren't as stupid and mean as you think they are but its going to take some time for you to see that.
Be sure to apologize when you figure it out.
